[for-linus][PATCH 3/3] tracing: Limit trace_marker writes to just 4K

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Limit the max print event of trace_marker to just 4K string size. This must
also be less than the amount that can be held by a trace_seq along with
the text that is before the output (like the task name, PID, CPU, state,
etc). As trace_seq is made to handle large events (some greater than 4K).
Make the max size of a trace_marker write event be 4K which is guaranteed
to fit in the trace_seq buffer.
